  • Descrição: Analyses of sport & SC in Canada are complicated by the highly pluralistic nature of Canadian society. In this context, distinctions between SC's & between ethnic groups have traditionally been encouraged...' in contradistinction to the assimilationist ideal most fully expressed in the US.' Research into the socioeconomic backgrounds of athletes who competed in a national set of 'Canada Games' has led to the recognition of the fallacy of attempting to study Canadian sport solely from the 'mass society' perspective. This recognition entails the understanding that sport (especially specific types of sport), has had differential importance not only for each socioeconomic level in a given setting, but as well, for Canada's multiplicity of semi-separate class systems. In coming to this conclusion, the data on athletic competitors are reviewed In dialogue with 3 class-related themes: (1) sport as a mass phenomenon characterized by both 'levelling' & 'embourgeoisement' (What Charles Page has referred to as the 'class to mass phenomenon' &vice-versa), (2) sport existing as a class-related phenomenon-with specific sports overwhelmingly associated with either the Uc's, Lc's or Mc's, & (3) sport as an important 'status' system in its own right (existing in Canada with increasing political ties & bureaucratization), & as a generator of prestige in an external environment.
